Add Caching for Heavy Reads #3

Description

  • Some endpoints or database queries are being hit frequently and are causing high load times or unnecessary database usage. To improve performance and reduce resource strain, we should implement a caching mechanism for read-heavy operations.

Problem

  • Frequently accessed data is fetched from the database on every request.

  • This leads to higher latency and increased database load.

  • Results for some queries (e.g., user profiles, statistics, or configs) don’t change often.

Proposed Solution

  • Introduce a caching layer for data that is read frequently but changes infrequently. Possible approaches:

  • Use an in-memory cache (e.g., Redis, Memcached) to store query results or rendered responses.

  • Set appropriate cache expiration (TTL) to keep data fresh.

  • Implement cache invalidation when underlying data changes.

  • Optionally, use HTTP caching headers (e.g., ETag, Cache-Control) for frontend or API responses.
